Miss Spent was possibly flattered by her proximity to a couple of useful performers in a Kempton Listed race last month but, if taken at face value, that's the best form on offer in this. However, UNDEFINED BEAUTY won as she liked at Southwell and, as that was a conditionals' race, she can race off the same mark here with Fergus Gregory also taking off a valuable 7lb. Black Tulip is lightly raced and won at Stratford in May before finishing second at Aintree but Sophie Olivia looks high enough in the weights on her handicap debut. Floramoss keeps finding one too good but My Betty usually runs her race and the Irish challenger could reward each-way support.
